Overview

Employees are able to model a number of different selection scenarios that suit either their lifestyle or personal and family commitments before making their final benefit choices.

The full details of these choices are then available to them at any time through a Total Reward Statement that incorporates the other major components of their remuneration package, such as salary, allowances and statutory holiday.

Total Reward Statement

Many organisations provide their employees with a Total Reward Statement. These statements give a full breakdown of benefits, including:

Salary, bonus and commission payments

Employer-funded and voluntary benefits

Non-cash benefits, such as flexi-hours and free parking

The Total Reward Statement shows an employee their full value to the company and the true cost of employment.

It is available to the employee at any time, is always up-to-date and a copy can be printed for the employee's own records.

Although the Total Reward Statement technology is included in our Flexible Benefits application, it can also be supplied separately to run standalone or, more typically, as an early phase of a full Flexible Benefits implementation.
